The hospital must demonstrate our expertise in this treatment during an extensive survey by the SCPC every three years.

Our team approach leads to better outcomes for patients.

Treatment starts from the onset of the patient's symptoms, and includes involvement by emergency medical services, the Emergency Department, physicians, Cardiac Catheterization Lab, observation unit, and continues through cardiac rehab and discharge from the facility. The Accredited Chest Pain Center model is designed to help the hospital plan and organize the delivery of care for potential heart attack victims in a systematic manner.

Our team of physicians and nurses are here for you 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Our Accredited Chest Pain Center is open to any patient experiencing heart attack symptoms. If you or someone you love is experiencing signs or symptoms of a heart attack, please call 911 immediately.
